And with no mass market launch on the horizon, Glass is looking increasingly like being a niche product. Key Glass employees have also left Google in recent months, and the company seems more focused on Android Wear than Glass.

As a related aside, Amazon is offering some Prime subscribers the chance to trial a Kindle for free for 30 days. The device is delivered and returned for free, with the customer only being charged if they decide to keep the Kindle beyond the 30 days.
